In fact, he is not even given a single line to speak! Should we neglect Joseph? Should we skip Joseph’s ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,129 views

    What was Joseph thinking that night outside the stable. Have you ever thought about it? What would have been going through your mind? This message challenges us to do what Joseph did. He obeyed God even when it didn’t make sense.

Genesis 6:22 (NIV) 22 Noah did everything just as God commanded him. My ...read more
